Biography
Gunchen Chanyu was the son of Chanyu Laoshang Chanyu and the grandson of Modu Chanyu. In 161 BC, he succeeded his father as chanyu of the Great Hunnic Empire, and he occasionally made raids into China if they broke the trade treaty that they had made in 200 BC with Modu. In 133 BC, he nearly ran into an ambush by 300,000 Han dynasty troops, but a Chinese officer warned him and saved him, and the treaty was broken and war began. In 127 BC, the Huns were expelled from the Ordos region, and Gunchen died a year later. His brother Ichise Chanyu succeeded him.
